Join Ken as he takes on a real-life DIY challenge: restoring the yellow, UV-damaged headlights on his wife's Chevy Equinox using Amazon's cheapest headlight restoration kit. In this honest and transparent video, Ken dives into the process, sharing every step—from unboxing the budget kit to sanding, polishing, and applying protective coatings. You'll see how this affordable setup, complete with scouring pads, various grit sandpapers (from 320 to 3000), and a drill attachment, can revive foggy headlights without breaking the bank. Ken keeps it real by highlighting the kit's shortcomings—it lacks polishing compound and UV protectant, so he supplements with trusted products like Meguiar's PlastX and their headlight coating. Watch as he navigates common pitfalls, like forgetting to tape off the car paint (leading to scuffs he fixes with ScratchX), and learn from his mistakes to avoid them yourself. Whether it's dealing with emotional distractions or the time-intensive prep work, Ken's personable style makes you feel like you're right there with him, turning a frustrating task into an empowering one. If you're tired of dim, hazy headlights affecting your night drives, this ultimate budget headlight restore guide is for you! Ken shows that for under $50 (or even $30 if you skip the goofs), you can achieve clear, safe results. Plus, he calls out the need for better materials from car manufacturers—why not switch back to durable glass lenses? Love DIY car maintenance? Hit like if this helps, subscribe for more transparent tutorials, and drop your tips in the comments—Ken's no pro, but he's all about learning together. Share with friends facing yellow headlights, and let's make roads safer one restore at a time! #HeadlightRestoration #DIYCars
